1 Way Trump will probably fuck over 97 million Americans

[LotusBud]

I'm not sure that this administration is going to be in the business of strengthening and protecting Social Security.

Trump's fellow Republicans have alluded to ways to cut social security. In March, the House GOP caucus released

The caucus members groused about how Social Security has expanded since it was originally signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1935, through “the addition of disability benefits, dependents and survivors benefits, and the incorporation of automatic cost-of-living adjustments.”

Predictably, they don’t mention who was responsible for these changes: Disability was added in 1956, under Dwight Eisenhower; cost-of-living adjustments were enacted in 1972, under Richard Nixon, and went into effect in 1975, under Gerald Ford. All three presidents were Republicans.

The committee called for “modest adjustments to the retirement age for future retirees to account for increases in life expectancy,” raising the retirement age to 69 from the current standard of 67 for new retirees. That's a benefit cut, and one that would hit low-income and Black Americans harder than others.

Here's the bottom line: It would be folly to be complacent about what the current political majority might do to Social Security.

I meant 67 million Americans, but I am not able to edit the subject line anymore, ever. Sorry. Sue me, you MAGA fuckwits.

Another prediction from the people with a worse track record for accurate predictions than Miss Cleo.

Day twenty two and the leftist filth is still feeling blue.

Who are these "people" you refer to?

 

[Seamajor]

These, those, them?? He hasn’t a clue

 

[Neil B. Formi]

Who are these "people" you refer to?

Well, let's see now, hmmmm, it's a mystery. Who made the prediction this thread is predicated on?

At some point, you want to realize that -- if you pretend to be stupid long enough -- you run the risk that, at some point, you won't be pretending anymore. I think you've reached that point.

I've noticed that you have taken to circling around the drooling retard who calls himself seamajor.

Yeah sure, but those presidents were RINOs and the enemy within. Social safety nets are eeeevil.

Because Trump has given no indication he'll try to limit social security benefits? Okay. And I have a bridge that you've obviously committed to buy.

Give an example that doesn't involve 'if' or 'could'.

 

[LotusBud]

There are no examples other than "if" in Trump's second term, you fuckwit. He hasn't taken office yet, has he?

Right now he's doing nothing but dancing like a spastic and bragging about his imagined brilliance. And probably assaulting women at any opportunity he can create.

Then your predictions are worthless.

 

[Neil B. Formi]

Here's one for the Left's collective 'psychic hotline':

 

[The New Holliday]

Then your predictions are worthless.

Could you define prediction?

 

[LotusBud]

Then your predictions are worthless.

You're a hypocritical idiot.

 

[Neil B. Formi]

You're a hypocritical idiot.

IOW, You've got nothing. But that's not news.

 

[Neil B. Formi]

Could you define prediction?

Yes. And so can you, you dishonest bag of authentic feces.

 

[The New Holliday]

Yes. And so can you, you dishonest bag of authentic feces.

Isn't a prediction based on some evidence?
...and isn't there evidence that Trump and the GOP intend to damage SS benefits if they are able to do so?

It's egregious that conservatives want taxes to be spent on anything but the American people.

'If'. Got anything without a 'could' or an 'if'?

They have a different definition of "the common good".

 

[The New Holliday]

It's the future, ya moron. Prediction is not prophesy.

 

[Lily]

They have a different definition of "the common good".

The pain they'll feel IF they decide to strip even "some" benefits.

It will make the "Egg Price Scandal" of the 2020's look like child's play.

If one has nothing to lose.….. You?

But Trump has already reduced border crossings 75% over the past year, no prediction fact!
